The Main Pillar Of Csm Is The Triple Bottom Line (Tbl), Which Has Been Successful As An Organizing Principle But A Disappointment In Practice.

This Includes A Template For Contextbased Metrics Compatible With The Global Reporting Initiative (Gri), As Well As Specific Examples Of Metrics For Each Of The Triple Bottom Lines.Practical Examples Of Best Practices Are Presented Throughout, While Simultaneously Addressing Key Issues, Such As How Organizations Can Measure Performance Against Contextbased Standards When Consensus For Such Standards Does Not Yet Exist. Appendices Include Tools For Developing And Applying Contextbased Metrics, As Well As Case Studies Taken From The Practice Of Contextbased Csm At Two Companies In The United States.This Guide Is The Essential Tool For Business And Organizational Leaders In All Sectors Committed To Improving Their Sustainability Performance, With A Particular Emphasis On Measurement, Management And Reporting.
